In one example of the disclosure, presence data indicative of a presence factor for a remote subject is received from a server. The presence data is analyzed and a display representative of the presence factor is caused at a 3D object. The 3D object includes a 3D element representative of the remote subject.
Legal claims defining the scope of protection, as filed with the USPTO.
1. A system to enable displays representative of remote subjects, comprising: a three-dimensional (3D) object comprising a 3D element representative of a user of a remote electronic device, wherein the 3D element is shaped to represent an anatomical feature of the user of the remote electronic device; a processor; and a memory comprising code that is executable by the processor to: receive from a server presence data indicative of a presence factor for the remote electronic device, wherein the presence factor corresponds with an activity or attribute of the user of the remote electronic device; time-shift the presence factor by an amount of time equal to a difference between a first time zone of the 3D object and a second time zone of the remote electronic device to delay a display of the presence factor by the amount of time; and analyze the presence data and generate, at the 3D object, the display representative of the presence factor.
2. The system of claim 1 , wherein the presence factor corresponds with a health-related attribute of the user of the remote electronic device.
3. The system of claim 1 , wherein the presence factor indicates an availability of the user of the remote electronic device for an electronic conversation.
4. The system of claim 1 , wherein the presence factor indicates weather conditions at a location of the user of the remote electronic device.
5. The system of claim 1 , wherein to generate the display representative of the presence factor comprises to project a lighting effect on the 3D object.
6. The system of claim 1 , wherein to generate the display representative of the presence factor comprises to engage an actuator to move the 3D element.
7. The system of claim 1 , wherein the 3D element is a model of a human head and to move the 3D element comprises to move the model to a downward angle.
8. The system of claim 1 , wherein the 3D object is a doll figure and the 3D element is a representation of a head of the user, wherein the presence factor is an availability of the user for electronic conversation, and to generate at the 3D object the display representative of the presence factor comprises: move the head to a forward facing position to indicate that the user of the remote electronic device was available for an electronic conversation; and move the head to a turned-away position or turned-down position to indicate that the user of the remote electronic device was unavailable for an electronic conversation.
9. The system of claim 1 , wherein the 3D element comprises a custom 3D printed facsimile of the user of the remote electronic device.
10. A method generating a display representative of a remote user, comprising: establishing a secure a connection between a 3D object and a server, wherein the 3D object comprises a 3D element shaped to represent an anatomical feature of a user of a remote electronic device; receiving from a server presence data indicative of a presence factor for the user of the remote electronic device, wherein the presence factor corresponds with an activity or attribute of the user of the remote electronic device; time-shifting the presence factor by an amount of time equal to a difference between a first time zone of the 3D object and a second time zone of the remote electronic device to delay a display of the presence factor by the amount of time; and generating, at the 3D object, the display representative of the presence factor.
11. The method of claim 10 , wherein the presence factor corresponds with a health-related attribute of the user of the remote electronic device.
12. The method of claim 10 , wherein the presence factor indicates an availability of the user of the remote electronic device for an electronic conversation.
13. The method of claim 10 , wherein the presence factor indicates weather conditions at a location of the user of the remote electronic.
14. The method of claim 10 , wherein to generate the display representative of the presence factor comprises to project a lighting effect on the 3D object.
15. The method of claim 10 , wherein to generate the display representative of the presence factor comprises to engage an actuator to move the 3D element.
16. The method of claim 10 , wherein the 3D element is a model of a human head and to move the 3D element comprises to move the model to a downward angle.
17. The method of claim 10 , wherein the 3D object is a doll figure and the 3D element is a representation of a head of the user, wherein the presence factor is an availability of the user for electronic conversation, and to generate at the 3D object the display representative of the presence factor comprises: move the head to a forward facing position to indicate that the user of the remote electronic device was available for an electronic conversation; and move the head to a turned-away position or turned-down position to indicate that the user of the remote electronic device was unavailable for an electronic conversation.
18. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions that, when executed, direct a processor to generate a display at a three-dimensional (3D) object comprising a 3D element representative of a user of a remote electronic device, wherein the 3D element is shaped to represent an anatomical feature of the user of the remote electronic device, the instructions to direct the processor to: receive from a server presence data indicative of a presence factor for the remote electronic device, wherein the presence factor corresponds with an activity or attribute of the user of the remote electronic device; time-shift the presence factor by an amount of time equal to a difference between a first time zone of the 3D object and a second time zone of the remote electronic device to delay a display of the presence factor by the amount of time; and analyze the presence data and generate, at the 3D object, the display representative of the presence factor.
19. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the presence factor indicates an availability of the user of the remote electronic device for an electronic conversation.
20. The non-transitory computer-readable medium of claim 18 , wherein the 3D object is a doll figure and the 3D element is a representation of a head of the user, wherein the presence factor is an availability of the user for electronic conversation, and to generate at the 3D object the display representative of the presence factor comprises: move the head to a forward facing position to indicate that the user of the remote electronic device was available for an electronic conversation; and move the head to a turned-away position or turned-down position to indicate that the user of the remote electronic device was unavailable for an electronic conversation.
